If you think about Malus's position on the map (almost right at the bottom) and the way he is facing (constantly north), you realise that he was practically forced to watch you kill all 15 of his friends. He would have seen the beams of light appear after every one. He must have hated Wander, but maybe he was afraid too. He knew you were coming for him.

So, let me sum up all the epiphanies in the comment section. Malus is the embodiment of the game’s primary theme. Fate. This is made quite clear by his tongue in cheek coordinate, F8. As well as that, Malus is positioned at the very bottom of the map, meaning he had to watch all those pillars of light appear as Wander slaughtered his kin. Rage, and fear is likely what he is feeling. He shoots at you as you approach, but once you’re on him, he stops. Malus must know it’s all over once you get on him, so he doesn’t even fight. He stands still like a statue, awaiting his fate. But there’s also this, pointed out by another user, the title is ominous, makes you imagine the colossal shadow of the great beasts. But note that it is singular, and that the title of artistic works hold more meaning than they let on. Linking to the theme of fate, as fate follows you like a shadow, perhaps you, the player, are the shadow of the Colossus. No matter what, you must defeat the colossi, no matter what, you follow them like a shadow, ruthlessly hunting them. You are the Shadow of the Colossus, and Malus knows it.

That is a really good summary of all these comments, so thanks for that to begin with. Also, I have something else to slightly add: I once saw a comment thread on Reddit that talked about how this music and Malus himself go hand in hand; the music isn't as triumphant as you'd expect of a final boss, but instead, it's of course slow and somber. Mix this with the fact that Malus looks the most humanoid out of all the colossi, and, to quote the person in the comment thread: '(...) suddenly his blasts (Malus') no longer feel like 'die boy' but more 'get away from me!' (...)'. Mix this with the fact how you pointed out that Wander pretty much is the shadow and how Malus' realises there's no escape, and it all fits together perfectly. As a new player myself who got into the game with the ps4 remake, I never realised how deep this game is. Amazing

If you’d allow me, I’d like to break down the title of the game for you. “Shadow of the Colossus” at first glance could mean the shadow of the colossi, simple as that. But then, after playing the game, I realized something. None of the colossi have shadows. So, what could the title mean? Your shadow always trails behind you, forever following you. Then it hit me. *You* are the shadow of the colossus. You are the one that follows them, finds them, and eventually kill them. You are always there, always creeping just below their feet. I fucking love this game.

I think it could also be in reference to Dormin since each colossus holds a shadowy pieces of him. In other words, the “shadow of the colossus” is the shadowy spirit inside. The “shadow of the colossus” progressively accumulates inside Wander after every fight.

***** There were 4 colossi that made me feel bad when I killed them. Those four are Phalanx, Hydrus, Avion, and Malus. The first three because they barely fought back, and Malus because he was only defending himself. Seriously, he could see the pillars of light rising to the clouds as each Colossus was killed. Damn guy had to stand by and watch as his friends were slaughtered one by one. As Argus fell, he knew whatever was killing them would be after him next. So he did everything in his power to prevent it, which sadly wasn't enough. For his part, Wander knew he was being selfish and foolish, but continued on, a broken man driven by his own willpower and a goal, no matter how selfish. The music as Agro falls is something that sets the tone right away. If Agro hadn't sacrificed herself, then Wander might have just given up, then and there, realizing how dangerous, perilous, and downright STUPID his quest was. But no. Agro sacrificed herself because she knew that he wanted to do this. That sacrifice gave him the strength he needed to continue on and do this, despite the wrongness of it. As I said, this music is most likely meant to make you realize that the colossi aren't the monsters, they're the goddamn victims of the monster's rampage.

Listening to these tracks again I really realize how SotC with a silent protagonist and being without NPCs or character interactions at all, told its entire story through the music. Listen to all the tracks more or less in order. It begins out upbeat and triumphant like working to save this woman is some great and noble quest if only you can strike down these monsters. Gradually over the course of the game the music gets more and more somber. Then you begin to realize, you've stolen this sword and gone into a forbidden land where an evil god is sealed away inside these colossi and you are going to release him to save your friend and even though he will not likely keep his word, this god is still your only hope. But this is the home of the colossi, they are peaceful and no threat to you and yet you are here to slaughter them all and sacrifice yourself to save one at the expense of the civilization that forbade you to come here. You are the bad guy in all this, not the colossi, and your selfish quest is about to doom everyone. She is already dead, so you are bringing her back to alleviate your pain and guilt, not hers. Enter this final piece of music. It's not too late, I can still abandon this fool's errand and go home. Is she really worth it? Do I really have it in me to strike this last one down? Didn't Aggro deserve better than this? Can I really justify what I'm about to do? He's just standing there and will not pursue me if I decide to accept my loss and go home. But no, I've come this far, I can't stop now, in spite of all that I've done and all that I know, this is my fate and I choose it willingly. These are exactly the sort of thoughts that ran through my head during the final fight and this music is the perfect piece to conjure them up and finish a tragic story told almost entirely by music. If video games are to be taken seriously as an art form then the discussion begins with Shadow of the Colossus.

I'm not sure if anyone has already talked about this, but Malus' position on the map is basically like saying "I had to watch all of these beautiful beasts die at the hands of this man. Although I know this is Dormin's doing." He's vengeful, yet he's also afraid. Will his fate be the same as his friends? He makes his last stand, confronting you, a storm booming throughout the area. He knows he might lose, but it's worth a shot. Love this game.

You'd expect, for the final battle, you'd get some epic, crazy unique music. Instead, you get this somber, quiet, and sad theme. Your journey is almost over, but... something doesn't feel right. It feels... off. You've been travelling for so long, defeating these massive titans. But now, your horse has died saving you (at least, you think) and the last Colossus is just ahead. But now... the music is there to drag your mood down, tamper with your emotions, make you question your actions. It makes you ask "Why did it come to this?" It's almost like Malus is supposed to be underwhelming and weak. They just... stare at you. You look into it's eyes and you don't see malice. You see something else. Instead of the determination most other games would give you, Shadow of the Colossus gives you regret. It gives you sadness. It gives you sorrow.

I am very surprised that nobody has commented on the sudden pause or the "aposiopesis" that they have used in this piece. You can hear it at 1:33. I never imagined that so much emotion could be accumulated during a few seconds, in which there are no notes and no music is playing. Connecting it to the story, I think this is supposed to represent the moment where you suddenly have a realisation storming your mind...The moment you realised that you were the monster all along and the path you've chosen was diving into a sea of hopelessness.

I also love how Malus has horns, he's kind of an image of the being Wander is about to become if he goes through with this final slaughter.

Actually, it's the other way around- given Malus' location on the map, he pretty much saw Wander "murder" all of the other 15 Colossi (or at the very least he saw the 15 pillars of light after their defeat), and knows that Wander's coming for him next! The real "monster" isn't 196.8 feet tall, but an average-sized man hell-bent on killing the Colossi in order to ressurect his girlfriend! When you realize that WANDER is the true monster of the story, it really makes you question your actions and things you've done over the course of the game!

You stop holding on Malus' fur... But then you grab it with all your power! "No", you say to yourself: "I went this far! My desire is in front of me! I CAN'T STOP NOW!!!"

The feeling this OST gave me was similar to Gwyn Lord of Cinder, but more eerie and dark rather than sad and melancholic, which fits pretty perfectly, in DS you're trying to save or kill a world that's already f*cked while in SOTC you're about to f*ck the world without knowing. Or that's what I understood at least.

I don't understand why people say that Malus watch his "friends" die one by one, i mean i know that Malus watched the entire scenario but "his friends"?? Really?? Is even factible that Malus knew that the other colossus existed?? (Well he's capable to see Phalanx and ¿Avion? maybe). Everyone say that Wander is evil for killing the colossus, but he's not, he's just desesperated. That's the reason who brings him into the Forbidden Land. About the Colossus, They are neutral creatures, They aren't good or bad, ¿Do you really think that Basaran, Dirge, Celosia and Cenobia knew your going to kill them? No, They are hostile creatures that attack what they don't understand, is their primmary instinct, and back to Malus, I think that is the only colossus that knew youre going to kill him. The Colossus are like the animals that are sacrificed in rituals.

But I agree with you, Wander is not evil. (Not 100% innocent.. But not evil) Wander only did what he did out of pure desperation. So his (in my opinion) sister could live again. He loved her so much, he was willing to lay down his OWN life so her soul could return. So of course he was willing to kill what he most likely assumed were nothing more then animals made of stone.

You know, I wonder what Wander thought of the colossi, ESPECIALLY Malus/Evis. I mean, after Agro supposedly dies, you have to wonder if Wander himself hated Malus due to the series of unfortunate events.

Wander didn't know that though! He never got to see Agro again after what happened, so in his mind, his only companion/friend throughout his journey through the Forbidden Lands was dead! I don't even think that Agro knew that Wander "died" either!

Malus and all the other Colossi were created to seal away Dormin (for whatever reason), and guard the fragments of his soul. When made, they were gentle giants, slow to anger. Sadly, holding onto it has driven most of them mad with power. Malus is the eldest of them, and his power and madness has only grown. His death is a tragedy, and a senseless act on Wander’s part... But it is a mercy nonetheless.

Japanese composers. I think Kow Otani, the composer of Shadow, is well known and most Dark Souls composers, esp Yuka Kitamura, composer of Sir Alonne track takes a lot of inspiration. Good catch though. This one's haunting, sad and still makes me uncomfortable. Add chants, up the tempo and you have Sir Alonne masterpiece. Excellent catch.

So much emotion you got malus who watched you slaughter of his fellow colossi and is probably angered by you and afraid to be the next victim wander who just lost his trusted steed and companion who you can see is physically and mentally drained he just wants this to be over at this point his body and soul is visibly deteriorating dormin is probably ecstatic and laughing maliciously at the shrine while your pursuers lord emon and his band of warriors are closing in on the shrine to find out there too late to stop the darkness from consuming wander and dormin being reborn

I wana point something out, When your on Malus's hand ready to ascend to his head to kill him. he does not harm you. one bit, after avoiding his fireballs from his gauntlet he gives up. he does shake his head when your on it trying to kill him but I have a theory. the colosi have 2 mentalities to them. we know at the end of the game dormin says "we were severed into sixteen segments" and there are 16 colosi in the game. which means when you kill a colosi the black tar/tentacles is dormins soul leaving its prison. now I think the colosi are actual sentient beings with their own minds. but when he stops trying to kill you on his hand, he just stares at you. he gives in to his literal inner demon dormin. he glances at the last being he will ever see. and he accepts his fate. malus is the final prison cell for dormins soul. the last remaining remenant of dormin resides in him. malus was controled by dormin..manipulated. Malus lets dormin take the reigns. as wander climbs up and delivers the last blow. and lets a demon out of its cage

i've seen people who don't like Malus as a colossus but i think he is my favorite closely followed by phalanx beacuse sure his gameplay might not be as good since you just walk around a bit until you reach him then you climb for like 3 minutes get some puzzles done and there you beat the game but i don't think thats it, what makes Malus so great is the whole context behind the fight, this is similar to Gwyn, Lord of cinder's fight from Dark souls 1 and i don't mean it beacuse its tough or anything i mean it beacuse every single fight before this has been an epic heroic battle against a giant beast who ravages everything it sees (except phalanx) but once you kill all of them and you have the feeling of greatness in you you feel like you can do anything you have beaten beasts on the sky underwater on buildings gigantic beasts, small but deadly beasts you have seen it all and now its time to end it... but there is something bothering you. wander The protagonist is changing he doesn't look quite right there is something going on outside the forbidden land and there is a smidge of dread in the back of your mind only amplified by the tragic loss of your horse in the last moment you are now alone, the weather changes it starts to rain symbolically representing the state of mind of wander his own body is changing for the black magic that he has been performing by killing these beasts his only friend in this dangerous place is dead but he is one step away from finishing his quest you arrive and the music isn't grand.. the music isnt heroic... its gloom and melancholic Malus just stands there angered by you killing everyone in this place he is the only one left yet he is powerless to do anything but try to keep you away from him, he is afraid as he knows you are more than capable of ending his life so he uses everything he has to keep you away since he knows... you are the real monster

To go along with the deep comments around here, it wasn't mine but I saw someone a while back who broke down how Malus emphasizes the whole feeling of how you are the bad guy and such. He is of course firing at you with that massive power of his throughout the battle, but due to this music piece the attacks feel less like 'haha, die boy!' and more like 'get away from me!'. As said in this comment section before, you have been the shadowy menace all this time but because Malus is the most humanoid out of all colossi the battle and music hit that much harder in my opinion.
